Happy Christmas! (The photo is of George in our office, festooned.)
Here's a little something interesting for your senior students ...
Vicky, as you know, works in the Irish Board's office. She's a singer-songwriter and she's just released a stunning Christmas song. It's available on iTunes and Google Play (see below). Timara Galassi (Deirdre's multi-talented daughter) produced it. Give it a listen. And then it would be great if you could buy a copy. It's only €1.29 and proceeds go to SVP. Thanks.
Irish Board diploma day! We really appreciate the efforts candidates have made to get here through some quite terrible conditions.
If you're booking exams with us, don't forget that we have a really easy-to-use, intuitive and straightforward online booking system on our website. http://www.irishboard.ie/
Exercise of the day!
In beautiful, sunny Galway today, looking forward to Musical Theatre performances from Trading Faces. Busy few days for the Irish Board with exams just held and about to be held in Letterkenny, Sligo, Templemore, Galway, Wicklow and Dublin.
Our Movement to Music CDs have moved (belatedly) into the digital age. Now on our dramabooks site you can find all 35 M-to-M sequences, downloadable individually or in their original collections. Each sequence comprises a track of original music by award-winning composer Timara Galassi and a track narrated by renowned speech and drama teacher Deirdre Galassi describing the movements that might be performed to the music. Great choice at an extremely reasonable price! Oh. And there's a free one. But you'll have to scroll through them to find it.
Some bursary news from Sligo Feis Ceoil ...
Here’s an interesting short piece on monologues, emphasising the key characteristics of an effective monologue: character, story, that it’s a snapshot of both, that it conveys information and truth in a concise way, that it shows a connection between actor (all genders) and character, that it contains change/contrast, and that it has its own rhythm. https://youtu.be/OfIGqK0FGMo
